Happy new year to all! 2025 is about to be legendary, possibly the best year crypto has ever seen. Get ready.
Let’s expand on what to expect in the year of the wood snake:

- The bell tolls on centralized exchanges and L2s for Ethereum and Bitcoin begin to dominate the crypto trading landscape with a massive explosion of DEX activity
- AI agents find their narrative as a predictive voice for individuals and companies, with many people seeing it as a way to clone someone’s “mindset”, the market for the most valuable AI personalities becomes frothy
- Digital identity narrative takes off, your identity on-chain becomes a portal for companies to fight over offering financial rewards on-chain in the form of digital loyalty (imagine airdrops on steroids)

- Web Authentication becomes the standard method for DeFi transaction signing
🚨 On-chain crypto card payments just crossed $9 BILLION in cumulative volume.
May 2026 alone hit a record $833M, up 180% YoY.
The narrative is shifting from speculation to utility.
At Metallicus, the pieces are already being assembled:
🏦 Metal Pay
💵 Metal Dollar ($XMD)
⚡ LOAN Protocol
🔐 WebAuth Wallet
⛓️ Metal Blockchain
Many credit unions are already testing stablecoins in @MetallicusTDBN pilot program.
Imagine a future Metal Pay card powered by stablecoins, lending liquidity, and banking infrastructure built for the digital asset era.
The future isn't coming.
It's being built. 🚀

True heart and loyalty are extremely rare. When you find people with those qualities keep them close and help them grow. In turn, they will help you grow.
The heart in #Proton community is like no other. Community is what makes crypto, and this community embraces and supports each other unlike anything I have ever seen! 💜⚛️ $XPR
Looking forward… 🤓
For $XPR to do a 100x, it only has to reach 22 cents.
That would put it around a $7B market cap.
Easily doable!
That is a 10,000% gain.
Never underestimate the possibilities.
DYOR.

🚨Banks aren’t dying they’re about to go SUPERSONIC. @MetallicusTDBN
🔸The future of banking isn’t banks vs. blockchain.
🔸It’s banks weaponizing blockchain to settle instantly, tokenize assets, kill fraud, and deliver real time payments while staying fully compliant.
🔸No more 2 day waits. No more billion dollar legacy tech.
🔸The future is @MetalBlockchain. Layer 0 infrastructure purpose built for banks and credit unions:
🔸Spin up private or public ledgers in weeks, not years
🔸Built in digital identity & BSA compliance
🔸Native stablecoins & seamless TradFi - DeFi bridging
🔸Faster, cheaper, safer than anything you’re running today
Banks that adapt win. The future is Metal.

Today @Mastercard announced the ability for merchants and banks to interact with cryptocurrency on their network. This is the first wave.
Soon, Proton will give every major card provider the open protocol to become interoperable on one scalable payments network. @protonxpr $XPR
